अनुवाद

"Having discerned the strength and wisdom of both, Drupada courted the younger one, Upayaja, firm in his vow, alone, tempting him with gifts; assiduous in serving his feet, sweet-spoken, granting every wish, having duly honored him, he said to Upayaja: 'By that rite, O brahman, by which I might have a son for Drona's death — when you perform it, Upayaja, I will give you a hundred million cows; or whatever else would be most dear to your heart, all of it I will give — I have no doubt of this.'"

भाष्य

Here the king tries to purchase spiritual assistance with gold. It is telling that Drupada, while serving at the ascetic's feet, still thinks in terms of a bargain: "I will give you a hundred million cows" — he measures the power of austerity as a commodity to be paid for. Here a disproportion reveals itself: grace cannot be bought, and an ascetic is no hireling; whoever approaches a holy man with a transaction has not yet understood his nature. Telling too is the goal — "a son for Drona's death": a sacred rite is sought for the sake of murder. Thus the scripture shows that even Drupada's reverence and generosity are darkened by vengeful greed; and the spiritual power he invokes is summoned by him to a work of ruin.
